Deans Meet To DiscussFraternities, HandbillsCommittee to Decide onChanging Initiation Date.Taking action on petitions submit¬ted by the Inter-Frateraity Counciland a group of alumni. Dean GeorgeWorks announced yesterday that hewould set up a committee to investi¬gate the advisablity of moving up fra¬ternity initiations to the winter quar¬ter. The committee, which was ap¬pointed in a conference with severalother members of the administration,will be composed of a group of facultymembers and alumni. The names ofthose who will make up the grouphave not yet been decided upon.The matter was brought up for dis¬cussion at a meeting with Dean Worksyesterday afternoon but it was foundthat the problem was of such com¬plexity that it was not possible tosolve it immediatelyNo Students IncludedThe committee will probably be setin motion within the next two days butit was not known how long their in¬vestigation and discussion would last.There will be no students includedamong its members although repre¬sentatives of the fraternities may becalled to present their case if thegroup thinks it necessary.The fraternities believe the stepnecessary because the period before apledge can be initiated has beenlengthened considerably by moving therushing period into the fall quarter. Ithad been the policy of the Universityto defer fraternity rushing until thesecond week in January.I-F Hopes For Pledging ChangeCharles Percy, head of the I-FCouncil, besides expressing his hopethat the committee would report fav¬orably on the proposed change, saidthat the fraternities are considering aplan to move rushing to the early partof the fall quarter. No steps have beentaken on this idea yet as the housesare waiting to watch the effects of thechange that has already been made ontheir present pledge classes.Results Of FluVaccinationsEncouragingInfiuenza, dread killer of the firstWorld War years may soon be tamedif the results achieved by infiuenzavaccinations at the University may betaken as a prophecy of the future ofthe disease. For a report of the resultsof fiu vaccinations given to 301 Uni¬versity students in January showsthat the rate of incidence in the un¬vaccinated 333 students used as con¬trols was about two and a half timesas great as in those vaccinated.While the vaccinations were admin¬istered primarily to ward off an epi¬demic of the disease among students,the report was compiled to add addi¬tional evidence to that being gatheredby the Rockefeller Foundation aboutthe vaccine two of its research work¬ers developed.Commenting on the report he madepublic yesterday. Doctor Dudley Reed,head of Student Health, said that theresults showed that the vaccinationssaved approximately 12 0 studentworking days. At the same time onlya few of the students vaccinated suf¬fered reactions to the serum and thosewere mild and confined to such dis¬comfort as sore arms.The vaccine was developed over aperiod extending from November 1939to last December by Doctors FrankL. Horsfall, Jr. and Edwin H. Len-nette of the Rockefeller Foundationand was discovered largely as the re¬sult of an accident. It is taken from amixture of distemper and influenzavirus shot into fertilized eggs con¬taining living chicken embryos. Mr. Smith... his worriesAngell WillSpeak At MarchConvocationDr. James Rowland Angell, formerpresident of Yale university, will re¬turn to the University where he wasa member of the faculty from 1894 to1920 to speak at the 203rd ConvocationFriday, March 14, in Rockefeller Me¬morial Chapel.More than 200 candidates will re¬ceive degrees in this second Convoca¬tion of the University’s Fiftieth Anni¬versary year.Dr. Angell, educational counselor tothe National Broadcasting Systemsince 1937, will speak on “The Univer¬sity and the Currents of Life.”Dr. Angell received the Bachelor’sdegree from the University of Mich¬igan in 1890, and joined the Universityof Chicago faculty shortly after re¬ceiving the Master’s degree from Har¬vard university in 1892. In 1906 hewas named professor and head of theDepartment of Psychology. He wasdean of the faculties from 1911 to1920, and vice-president in 1918-19. In1920 he left Chicago to become pres¬ident of Yale university in 1921, re¬tiring in 1936. He was given the hon¬orary Litt. D. degree by the Univer¬sity in 1921.Candidates for the Bachelor’s de¬gree at the spring Convocation num¬ber 158. Thirty-seven students will re¬ceive the Ph. D. degree, five will be¬come Masters of Business Administra¬tion, three Bachelors of Divinity, oneDoctor of Law, and 31 Doctors ofMedicine.Winterset Is FirstEffort of NewlyOrganized PlayersBy RICHARD PHILBRICK“Little theater,” the kind idealistictheater-lovers dream about, the typemade brilliant by the intense interestof its players and producers, will be¬come a reality in the University neigh¬borhood if the newly-formed Coopera¬tive Players becomes a successful or¬ganization.Formed three weeks ago by a dozenmen and women led by Christine Pal¬mer Peck and “Stud” Ruml, the groupis now preparing to produce SherwoodAnderson’s “Winterset.” The cast ofthe play includes Yvonne Markus,Demarest Polacheck, C. SharplessHickman, Harry Hess, Frank Ether-ton, Genevieve Smith, Blanche Romer,Edward Haskell, George Peck, andDave Pletcher.Funds will come from members’ feesand admission prices of 25 and 35cents. “Winterset” will be producedsome time in April in a hall at 1174East 57th Street. Membership in thegroup is not limited to students, al¬though most of the members are en¬rolled in the University. Campus Peace CommitteeFiles Protest Against Hand¬bill Ban.Feeling that the ordinance againstthe distribution of handbills on campusis unjust, the Campus Peace Commit¬tee filed a protest against it recentlywith the Dean of Students, George A.Works. At the same time a copy ofthe protest was sent to President Rob¬ert Hutchins and the Bd. of Trustees.The protest said in part that theordinance constituted a denial of freespeech and made it difficult for thecommittee to publicize its activitities.The Peace Committee also claimedthat it could not gain publicity throughthe student press and further that thestudent press was not representativeof student opinion.The protest was referred to theBoard for the Coordination of StudentActivities by Dean William Randall to¬gether with the letter to the presidentand Board of Trustees which had beenrelayed to the Dean of Students office.At a meeting yesterday the activitiesboard denied the protest leaving theordinance still in effect.Replying to the Peace Committee’scharges against the student press,John Stevens, Chairman of the Boardof Control of the Daily Maroon, saidyesterday that his paper felt stronglythat the charges were unjustified andthat the Maroon always attempts tocooperate with student organizationsso far as is compatible to the BullSessions which the Maroon runs asevidence supporting his views. TheMaroon could not reach the editors ofother student publications to ascertaintheir views on the charge at a latehour last night.Hutchins GroupBegins SeriesOf War TalksSupporters of President Hutchins’ideas on the war, as expounded in hisrecent radio address, will begin oper¬ation as an organization next Wednes¬day when they present a panel dis¬cussion by Maynard Kreuger, Mal¬colm Sharp, and Wayne McMillen onAmerica and the war. Billed as “We’llSit This One Out,” the discussion isthe answer of these three campusliberals to the question of peace orwar. The meeting will be in the SocialScience Assembly Hall at 3:30.The group yesterday announced itsaffiliation with the “Committee forDemocratic Action” founded at Har¬vard. While Harvard works in theeast, this group will operate as apressure group in the mid-westerncolleges to promote thorough discus¬sion of the effects of American mili¬tary intervention in the war.On the executive committee areLaura Bergquist, chairman of thegroup, Alice Meyer, Ray Whitkoff,Stud Ruml, Ed Whiteway, and Ed Gus¬tafson. The campus committee itselfwill be a small group which will main¬tain constant contact with studentleaders on other campuses and pro¬mote speakers and programs of na¬tion-wide import.Although their first aim was theopposing of the Lend-Lease Bill, thecommittee has branched out to actas this pressure group for liberalopinion on America and the war.At the meeting next Wednesday amore complete organization will beeffected. Invitations have been extend¬ed to the 100 persons who originallysigned the petition of defense ofHutchins’ views on the war.ErratumA story that appeared in the Ma¬roon stated that regular degrees wouldbe conferred at the Fiftieth Anniver¬sary Convocation next September.This was incorrect; only honorary de¬grees will be conferred at that time.Page Two THE DAILY MAROON.

Reynolds, and DanielWinograd.BUSINESS ASSOCIATESRobert Dean, Lyle Harper, and Myles Jarrow.Night Editor: Dan Mezlay Assistant: Dorothy TuellThey Are Not AloneThere is a University regulation which de¬clares that “handbills may not be distributed onthe Quadrangles." At intermittent periods, cam¬pus radicals cry out that this regulation shack¬les their freedom of speech and fundamentallyviolates the liberal spirit which is supposed topervade the University.Another one of these periodic protests hasarisen. Letters were recently sent to the Deanof Students, the President, and the Board ofTrustees protesting the rule. The protest saidin essence that since the reason given for pass¬ing the regulation (the reason was the necessityto save the money spent in picking up the litterthat handbills left) was outweighed by thegravity of the present world crisis, it would beunfair to prevent this means of student expres¬sion.No ViolationLong have we objected to people who saythat radicals suffer from perpetual persecutioncomplexes, and always discover that they arebeing treated unfairly, whether they are or not.But we should have to admit from the facts inthis particular issue, that such a charge wouldseem to be justified.There is no violation of liberties simply be¬cause there is a prohibition of handbill distribu¬tion. So long as the University allows all stu¬dents free use of its bulletin boards, so long asit will let them hold meetings freely in its halls,so long as they can say anything they want onUniversity property unless it is immediately dis¬ruptive of order, they are receiving all theliberal benefits to which they are entitled, andbenefits which they would be able to get at fewother Universities in the country.Why Revise?The seriousness of the world situation failscompletely to justify a revision of the regula¬tion. The world situation is just as serious forthe people whose political views are differentfrom those of the Campus Peace Committee.Their aims are just as broad and their programjust as positive. Yet they have not found it nec¬essary to demand this means of expressingthemselves. The means of public meetings, ral¬lies, and the traditional medium of advertisingthose gatherings through the use of bulletinboards and the columns of the Maroon, haveserved them adequately. The Maroon and thebulletin boards have been equally available tothe Peace Committee.It seems an especially inappropriate time forthe radicals to raise false and unimportant is¬sues like this one. It will only serve to dissipatetheir energies from causes which they must,if they are sincere, think more vital than thisminor and falsely directed one.Today on QuadranglesFriday:Noon Phonograph Concert, Social Science AssemblyHall, 12:30.Program; 1) Symphony in G major (“Oxford”),Opus 66, No. 2 Haydn2) El Amor Brugo de FallaClinical Pathology Conference, Pathology 119, 4:30.Calvert Club, Feast of St. Thomas Aquinas,” IdaNoyes, 6:45.German Club, Ida Noyes Alumnae Room, 4:30.Radio Club, “Practical Aspects of Frequency Modula¬tion,” Eckhart Common Room, 8:16.Mathematical Biophysics Seminar, “MathematicalFoundation of Harmony,” 6822 Drexel Avenue, 4:30. The Traveling BazaarBy BEATA MUELLERAccording.. .to our personal handbook of charming but unreliablestatistics, three sevenths of the students at this univer¬sity are graduates, but the freshmen are the most in¬teresting. One night Joan Olson, known affectionatelyas “The Little Flower of Sweden,” went out with fresh¬man Steve Lewellyn. They drank milk, and after an eve¬ning of hilarity, he politely escorted her home. “It waslovely,” she said when they had arrived at the door, “andthank you for the milk.” “That’s all right,” replied thechivalrous freshman, “my mother did the same forme.”We Know. . . other interesting people too. Ruth Rowe, one of thenicest of the ubiquitous Wyverns, can cross one eye andwiggle the other one. And dear, musty, amiable Profes¬sor Harteshorn of the philosophy department has a classin esthetics that charms and fascinates the students.Twice a week Professor Harteshorn lectures, and twicea week he whistles bird calls.It's all in the familyJane Claridge has a new diamond ring from KappaSig Frank Smith, the brother of her club sister PatSmith, and Pat Claridge goes with another Smith, Dave,a Phi Delt, although as sister Jane says, “They have afunny philosophy of life. He’s so undecided about hispin.”And our Professor. . . Percy Boynton of the English department marriedFlorence Rice, who turned down Florenz Ziegfeld once,and they are very happy and in Connecticut.The MB-Quad Basketball Game.. .was a bloody, boisterous business. The Quads knockeddown the MBs, and the MBs trampled on the Quads. Itis a wonderful thing to see the aristocracy at play.Killer Culliton shot a basket, and Janet Peacock shota basket, and Joan Sill dropped the ball, and MaryHerschel shot a basket, and Joan Sill dropped the ball,and Connie Florian threw the ball, and brother PaulFlorian stood exactly in the middle of the gallery andyelled for her, and Marian McCarthy shot a basket.Jean Kreuder sat and knitted like Madame LaFarge atthe executions, and Sigma Naneen Hiller cat and smiledinscrutably. In between quarters the players combedtheir hair. Ginnie Ailing combed her hair, and MikeRathje combed her hair, and Connie Both combed herhair, but left her shirttails hanging out, and CarolMooney combed her hair. There were many pretty andfamous people in the gallery, including famous ShirleeSmith, who couldn’t play because of her broken hand,and pretty Roy Larson, or 260 pounds of bone and beer,as the saying goes. Down below, cheerleader BJ Nelsonwaved her arms, and the gallery yelled, “Tutti-frutti!Who’s Yehudi? MORTARBOARDS! Yeah!” The Quadsyelled “Hello, Mortarboards! Hello, Mortarboards! Wesay HELLO!” The Mortarboards yelled louder, but theQuadrangles won, 31-18.It was also pleasant to see, all this time, a bald manwearing shorts and a man with long pants who was notbald, playing badminton in the other court, undisturbed.Independence Lost!A Bull SessionBy DICK HIMMELThere has been a great deal of talk and action theselast days about independents organizing. Dan Mezlayin two bull sessions has stated the case for the “Circle”an organized group of “independent” non-fraternitymen. It seems to me that the only case for the indepen¬dents on campus is remaining independent. When theyband together into such an organization as the “Circle”they are no longer independents. For what is a frater¬nity but an organized group of men.I am not criticising the “Circle” as an organization,I am criticising it as a so-called representation of in¬dependent University men. They have organized to pro¬mote themselves as individuals on campus. They haveorganized to promote social functions for themselves.They have organized to integrate themselves into thewhole pattern of University life. 'That they did this isundoubtedly beneficial to them as well as to the entirecampus.Independent?But how can they still call themselves independent?They have set up an organization to do exactly thethings that a fraternity aims to do. Actually they haveaccomplished putting over an inexpensive fraternity,and Chicago needs them. 'The University needs organ¬izations of commuters who don’t feel it is financiallyworth their while to join a fraternity. Yet I can’t seehow these men are independents.“Oh,” they say, “we will take anybody, regardlessof race, creed, or religion.” That’s fine! They are wayahead of acknowledged fraternities in this line. Butthey certainly aren’t going to take in a member whomno one likes. They would be foolish if they did.Don’t Be FooledSo, I say, having experience both as a fraternityman and as an independent, the “Circle” is not an or¬ganization of independents. It is perhaps a worthwhileventure in organizing men to do worthwhile things.But don’t be fooled by the slogan “organized indepen¬dents.” Organized independents is a contradictory term. ConscientiousObjectors FormGroup HereForty people on our campus refuseto “bear the mark of Cain.” They aremembers of the Fellowship of Recon¬ciliation chapter here, and all are con¬scientious objectors. They say “Wecannot fight nor can we stand by whenour brothers are suffering.” And sothey present to this warring world aprogram of Christian reconstruction.But just a handful of little people—what can they do?Peace SymbolsEvery Tuesday they hold their clubmeeting at noon. That means that noone eats his lunch, and the moneygoes for refugee aid. They send othermoney to help chapter members inEurope do relief work amongst theoccupied peoples. They stand bravelyas symbols for peace. It takes nerveto be a C.O. because when the warheat comes on people get a nasty wayof insinuating that maybe you’re justscared.Most of the members are from CTSand the Divinity School. More of themare men than women. Dan Genung isthe president, and Betty Merrill is thesecretary. When not worrying aboutsuch things as wars, they take pick,shovel, and carpentering tools andhelp build playgrounds, reconditionsettlement houses, and youth farms.They remind one of the Quakers verymuch. They want to help humanity,and in a quiet way they do a prettygood job.Active MembersActive members of F.O.R. are: An¬nie Adams, Karl Baehr, Gordon Baker,Margaret Baker, Donald Baldwin,Margaret Baldwin, David Barry, BobBoyer, Jim Bristah, Harmon Bro,Stanley Conover, Ruth Correll, Mal¬colm Correll, Jack Davis, Janet Davis,Frank Dorey, Geil Duffendack, CarfonFoltz, W'inifield Fretz, Dan B.

FRIDAY, MARCH 7, 1941 Page Three\I Harper To Speak AtLaw School DinnerNo For AnAnswerBy PEREZ ZAGORIN{This column expresses only theviews of the writer, not those of theeditors.)At last, behind all the subterfugeand soft soap, the fateful truth hasemerged; President Roosevelt’s prom¬ises were lies, it is a lie that aid toBritain is a peace policy, America isalready in the war. Step by step, withno mandate from our people, the pres¬ident has taken America into unde¬clared war. That nothing more can beexpected from the administration isnow apparent. When convoy limita¬tions were proposed for the lend-leasebill, when a prohibition against send¬ing men out of the western hemispherewas suggested, Roosevelt said thatsuch things would “cripple” the spiritof the act. Everything we have beentold from the beginning of the elec¬tion campaign onward is a lie.The rights of students to proceedwith their education are under themost severe attack. We are the vic¬tims of a national sellout. On thiscampus, “Youth for Democracy” bearsthe responsibility for trying to tie ourstudents to the war bandwagons. Mol-kup and the others already know thataid to Britain is a war policy, that italways was a war policy. Thereforethey hypocritically try to hide theirwar program by cashing in on the realbelief in democracy that so many ofour students have. Youth for Democ¬racy says that they stand for sociallegislation and the extension of Amer¬ican democracy to all.FakersWhat fakers they are! Is it not al¬ready clear that the war program hasno time to appropriate funds for bet¬ter housing, for health service, for thesharecroppers? Is it not already clearthat an administration that spends 66billions on a fake defense program,will give no funds for NYA, WPA, orthe American Youth Act. The verymen in Congress who knocked them¬selves out protesting, when the na¬tional debt limit was raised to providefunds for social legislation, are thesame men who so calmly vote for allfunds for the war program. Why? Be¬cause they know that the imperialistwar will make for them and for theirfinancier and banker friends fabulousprofits; legislation for the people isnot profitable, so they don’t like that.And so now, when it is clear thata choice must be made, when one mustchoose war or social legislation andthe maintenance of American democ¬racy, what does Youth for Democracychoose? It chooses war, and tries tocash in on sentiments for a New Dealthat once existed but is now dead, towin support for itself.They Shout . . . ButYouth for Democracy can shout theirhead off, but their hypocrisy is clear. Indiana Professor Will Talkon Torts; Simon and PaulsenWorking on Play.One of this country’s greatest au¬thorities on torts,. Professor FowlerVincent Harper of Indiana University,will speak at the annual Law SchoolBar Association Dinner to be held atInternational House April 4. ProfessorHarper was educated at Ohio North¬ern College, the University of Iowa,and the University of Michigan.“Harper on Torts”He has taught successively at theUniversity of North Dakota, Univer¬sity of Oregon and later at IndianaUniversity, University of Texas, andLouisiana State University. The best-known of his books is “Harper onTorts.”Another feature of the annual din¬ner, the play, is now rounding intoshape under the supervision of Chair¬man Bob Simon and Monrad Paulsen,Treasurer of the Bar Association. Pat¬terned after the famous Gridiron Clubskits given in Washington each year,the play lampoons life in the Univer¬sity Law School.Never once have they protested JimCrow on this campus. We all knowthat negroes are not admitted to thedormitories, but Molkup never asksthat Jim Crow be abolished here. HasYouth for Democracy ever asked itsgreat leader. Senator Gibson, or Mr.Hugh Cole, why an army supposed todefend American democracy permitsnegro segregation? Does anyone hearYouth for Democracy protesting thecontinued violations of civil rightsand academic freedom throughout thecountry ?This group stands exposed as a warmongering organization set up for thepurpose of making the imperialist warlook good to us. Well, they won’t suc¬ceed. We students know what warmeans, we know it better than thesenile Congressmen in Washington,who, like puppets, tremblingly raisedoddery hands to vote for war legis¬lation everytime the White Housepulls a string.The Cards Are StackedWe may think that all the cards arestacked against this generation. Ev¬erybody seems to be against us: ourteachers, our religious leaders, thepress, the administration. We havejust one thing on our side; the people,the indestructible plain folk who, inall the generations, made Americawhat it is. With the people on our side,with the unions in steel town, packingtown, the McCormick works; with thenegroes, the farmers, the share crop¬pers, we students ally ourselves. To¬gether we shall defend American de¬mocracy, and together we shall sharethe fruits of the people’s victory. OccupationalMalady HitsStudent ScalpsStrangest of all the occupationaldiseases to afflict modern man is amalady with a five syllable Latinname. Its chief symptom is acute pre¬mature baldness. Unknown until re¬cently, the rare malady has undergonea thorough investigation in the labora¬tories of Abbott Hall and conclusiveproof has been presented that the solecause of this loathsome disease isworking on student publications.The renowned University scientistwho has been responsible for the in¬vestigation Jias yet been unable to iso¬late the virus which produces it buthe has been able to substantiate hisfindings by checking his suppositionswith local examples. Case A is a wellknown student who had a fine head ofhair on entering the University but atpresent after four years service on theDaily Maroon he finds himself in theembarrassing position of having tocomb his side hair over his forehead.Even worse is the case history ofB, who is only a sophomore but whohas been unable to take his hat off inpublic for the past six months. Stillanother, C, who occupies perhaps themost responsible post on the collegedaily, has taken every care with hisscalp and until this year seemed to beholding his own. Last fall, however,his hair started to go fast and now hisforehead is increasing at the rate of1.735 centimeters per month.The investigator has been unableto check his findings with membersof other campus publications becauseof their habitual use of toupees.Soares GivesBaccalaureateOne of the grand old men of Chica¬go’s past will return this Sunday whenthe Reverend Theodore Soares deliv¬ers the Convocation Sunday addressin Rockefeller Chapel. Dr. Soares, whoreceived his Ph. D. from the newUniversity in 1894, became head ofthe department of practical theologyin 1926 after almost twenty years asa professor of religious education.Dr. Soares, who is the author ofmany books, including “Practical The¬ology,” a reference book in its fieldand the widely known “Religious Edu¬cation” was the chaplain of the Uni¬versity before the present office ofDean of the Chapel was created. Heis now head of the Neighborhood Com¬munity Church of Pasedena, Californ¬ia.

Together, these eight com¬positions form the basis of a libraryworthy of the best comparison. Wheth¬er one likes to remember this music asit sounded in the- film, or whether onewishes to enjoy the music by itself, the“facts and figures” remain that thesecompositions are the best of their kind.The musical meat of the classicalcomposers includes Bach’s “Toccataand Fugue in A minor”, and Beetho¬ven’s “Pastoral” Symphony numbersix. Modem composers are repre¬sented by Ponchielli’s “Dance of theHours”, Tschaikowski’s dainty “Nut¬cracker Suite”, Moussorgsky’s “NightOn Bald Mountain”, and Dukas’ “Sor-cercer’s Apprentice”.SENIORSYOU HAVETODAY and TOMORROW(Friday) (Saturday)To Have Your PhotoTaken by Photo-Reflex at Mandel’s Department Storefor theFiftieth AnniversaryCAP and GOWNSubscribe This Quorfer and Save Five Beers $4,50Page Four THE DAILY MAROON.

Main reason givenby the coaches for the entrance oftheir aggregations is to gain expe-perience.Biggest of the three meets in pointof interest and competitors entered isthe indoor track meet being held atPurdue University in Lafayette, In¬diana.Outstanding TrackmenSome of the outstanding track menin the nation are entered in this meet,headed by the Michigan and Indianacontingents. Michigan, defendingchampions, will be seeking its eighthconsecutive title.Although the Hoosiers’ squad issmall, it is a powerful one and is fav¬ored to lift the Wolverines’ crown.Headed by a trio of defending individ¬ual champions, the Indiana teammakes up in power what it lacks nu¬merically.Campbell Kane, Roy Cochrane, andArchie Harris are among the top menin their events in the country. Kanelast year won both the mile and thehalf-mile and took second in the half-mile, being beat out by Ed Buxton ofWisconsin, who dropped out of schoolthis semester. Cochrane is Big Tenand American record-holder in the 440-yard run, in addition to being avail¬able in the low hurdles and broad jumpwhen Indiana needs him. Harris isfavored to take the shot put as he isconsistently around the 50-foot mark.Relay Team UndefeatedThe Hoosier mile relay team ofCochrane, Kane, Marc Jenkins, andBob Burnett has not been defeated thisyear in three races. Jenkins last yeartook fourth in the 440, Wayne Tolliverfourth in the mile, and Ed Mikulas tiedfor third in the high jump.This gives the challengers a nucleusof men who scored 23 6/7 points inlast year’s meet as against Michigan’sreturning 15 13/14 points.Two Men ReturnThe champions were cheered by thereturn of two men who had beencounted out of the meet, however,Warren Breidenbach and Wesley Al¬len. Breidenbach, who was second toCochrane in the quarter last year, hasjust made up an incomplete and is noweligible to compete. Allen, who hasjumped 6 feet, 7 inches, has missedmost of the season due to an injurybut will jump tonight.With probably only one first theWolverines must depend upon excel¬lent team balance to retain their title.Captain Don Canham finished in atie for third last year and should re¬peat.Archie Harris, Indiana. . . shall win shot putIt will also be interesting to see howsophomore flash. Bob Ufer, will do insuch select competition. He broke allfreshmen marks at Ann Arbor lastyear from the 60-yard dash to the mileand anchored the record-breaking milerelay freshman team.Myron Piker, another returningchampion, will defend his laurels in the60 against tough opponents. Ail-American football player from Minne¬sota, George Franck, should supplymost of the opposition to Piker. Of the Chicago entrants Hugh Ren-dleman and Captain Jim Ray have thebest chances of winning points withthe mile relay combination given anoutside chance to finish in the money.Rendleman finished third in his soph¬omore year and fifth last year. In ad¬dition to Harris big Hugh will be com-Myron Piker, Northwesternpeting against Forest W'eber of Pur¬due and George Paskvan, another foot¬ball player, from Wisconsin.Ray will not beat out Canham in thehigh jump but he should place. He fin¬ished in a tie for third last year. Theaddition of the broad jump to the pro¬gram also gives Ray a chance for morepoints.Relay Points PossibleThe relay team of Dick Blakeslee,Doc Kanouse, Warren Wilner, andRay Randall may gain a place if theboys are hot that day.Randall doesn’t stand too good achance in the half-mile or the mile. Hisinexperience will be a big factor, es¬pecially against such cagy oppositionas he will be meeting.Bob Kincheloe and Bud Long, twoother sophomores, are also competing,Kincheloe in the pole vault and Longin the 60. Neither will garner anypoints according to past performances,but the competition will afford themvaluable experience.W’resiling at ColumbusMeanwhile over at Columbus, Ohio,the wrestling meet will be in progresswith the situations of Indiana andMichigan reversed. The Hoosiers aredefending champions with the Wolver¬ines slated to dethrone them.An attack of influenza suffered Wed¬nesday by sophomore Joe Sparks, 128-ponder, weakened Indiana’s chances.Coach Billy Thom has depended heav¬ily on Sparks, former Bloomingtonhigh school state champion, who haslost only one match this season.The injury to Danny Gill, 145-pounder, has necessitated a furtherchange in the champions’ lineup. Oneof the shifts will see Angelo Lazzara,Big Ten champ two years ago and un¬defeated in the 165 class this year,return to the lower weight division.Several Title HopesThe Wolverine wrestlers, edged outby one point by Indiana last year, pre¬sent several possible individual cham¬pions, among them Jim Galles, ArtPaddy, John Paup, and Ray Deane.Paup, Paddy, and Galles are unde¬feated in dual competition this year.Paup has won five straight matches,while Paddy and Galles have each wonsix in a row.Dark horse in the grapplers’ meetwill be Illinois. Much of their showingwill depend upon the physicial condi¬tion of Paul Petry, 128, who was in¬jured in practice this week, althoughit is expected he will be in shape.Sikich in HeaviesJohn Sikich, undefeated heavy¬weight and third place winner in boththe nationals and the Conference meetlast year, is Illinois’ best bet for achampionship.Although Coach Spyros Vorres hasentered a squad of six men. CaptainWillis Littleford, once-defeated in the165-pound class, is the best Maroonpoint-getter. Sam Zafros, 135, BudBates, 145, Frank Getz, 156, Bob Mus-tain, 175, and Milt Weiss, heavy¬ weight, make up the rest of the Chi¬cago aggregation.Swimming at IowaThe third meet to be held in IowaCity will be the swimming meet whereChicago representatives will probablymake their best showing. Headed bysophomore sprint star. Bill Baugher,and Art Bethke, undefeated in the220-yard breast stroke, Coach MacGil-livray has sent a squad of five. Othersparticipating are John Crosbie, diver,Leo Luckhardt, sprinter, and CraigMoore, back stroker.Bethke and Baugher should both ac¬count for places in their events, andthe medley relay team should alsofinish in the money. Crosbie doesn’thave much chance against such~men asEarl Clark of Ohio State.Overwhelming FavoritesThe defending championship Mich¬igan squad, undefeated in seven dualmeets, will be overwhelming favoritesto win their third straight Conferencechampionship and their 12th in thelast 15 years. Skull and CrescentThere will be a meeting of Skulland Crescent Monday afternoon at 4o’clock in Lounge A of the ReynoldsClub.
